Chapter 30: The Snail is Moving Forward
"What a loss!
The army that the Holy Sect raised at great cost was supposed to be used to conquer the world, but you lost it all.
Even the horn of the blood moon was exposed in advance, and he was still here to speak out - didn't suffer?
High priest, what is a loss in your eyes?
Do you have to kill the enemy and wipe us all out before you can be considered a loss?
Or ......"
Before Iman could finish speaking, the masked man waved his hand and stopped, "Alright, this matter will be stopped." I believe that the High Priest also made an unintentional mistake this time, but it is better not to make a second mistake like this.
Compared to the nobles who have ruled this land for countless years, the family background of my Skull and Bones Society is too thin to withstand such a toss.
Everyone gathered together from all over the world in order to overthrow the rule of the aristocracy, and from now on stand under the sun, so that future generations will live like rats forever.
Now's your chance. The enemy has abandoned the advantageous city and is going to fight us in the wilderness. As long as this noble coalition is defeated, the southeastern province will be ours.
If you take the southeastern provinces, the Alpha Kingdom will definitely be shaken, and the people with lofty ideals who have been suffering from the world's nobles for a long time will definitely respond in groups.
Based on the Alpha Kingdom, the wave of counterattack that detonated the entire continent swept across the continent just like it did three hundred years ago.
Victory will be ours! ”
"Victory will be ours!"
"Victory will be ours!"
……
As if beaten with chicken blood, everyone shouted after the masked man. It can be seen that this is a heartfelt identity.
Although the agitation of the mysterious "Holy Lord" is logically bullshit and unconvincing, with the blessing of magic, then anything is possible.
After all, it is a cult organization that cannot be put on the stage, and no matter how glamorous and glamorous the packaging in its words is, it cannot change its evil core.
After boosting morale, the skeleton will directly turn into a weapon of war and start working.
The first wave of devout believers all went to the battlefield to become cannon fodder, and the next conscription work naturally did not go smoothly.
However, this is not difficult for the skeleton club, and if you don't want to enlist, then catch the strong man. Anyway, when they entered the army, they first poured a bowl of "courage medicine", and then carried out some mental brainwashing, and the brave and fearless soldiers were baked.
There are two sides to everything, and this kind of artificially ripened "warrior" usually has a very bad IQ, and the more bloodthirsty he is, the more brainless he becomes.
It doesn't matter if you use it as a consumable, if you want to train a real elite, there is no possibility.
……
Looking at the chaotic team, Earl Pierce, who had just scolded Fang Xuan, had a gloomy and terrible face.
Although I knew that the aristocratic alliance was uneven, I didn't expect it to be so rotten. It was only the first day of departure, and the serfs below were in chaos.
As we all know, the speed of an army's march is determined not by the upper limit of the force, but by the lower limit of the force.
In general, the larger the number of soldiers, the more pig teammates there are, and the slower the march. On the contrary, it is a small force, which is more efficient.
On the first day of departure, there was a farce of soldiers visiting the door and not being able to find a home. Looking at the noble lords, looking for their soldiers, Earl Pierce was angry.
What a soldier is fast, this moment has all become a joke. Not only did the four armies in front fall into chaos, but the Fifth Army, which was escorting grain and grass, took its delay to the extreme.
No matter how far the troops in front ran, the Fifth Army only advanced more than twenty miles anyway. This is the result of Earl Pierce's constant urging, otherwise it will be even slower.
Hudson, who fell to the bottom of the line, had the most say in this regard. It's really not him who does things, it's really tens of thousands of troops marching, and it's a long dragon.
Optimistically, it is estimated that according to a row of four people and a distance of one meter between the front and back, the queue of 20,000 troops will be ten miles long.
Hudson did not know exactly how many troops the coalition forces were. Anyway, more than three hours after receiving the military order to set off, his 10th Regiment took the step of advancing.
Because of the shortage of livestock, the soldiers also had to play as guests and push grain trucks forward.
Let the serf soldiers push the cart, the profession is right, but the efficiency can not be counted on.
After a delay of three hours, and after deducting two or three hours of rest, cooking and camping, the actual march would take five or six hours.
In this case, it was possible to ensure a twenty-mile march a day, and the Fifth Army did its best.
It was a pity that no one could see this credit, and the annoyed and angry Earl Pierce, despite everyone's hard marching for a day, held an enlarged military meeting at the regimental level overnight.
Gathered around a campfire, Hudson could vaguely see the gloomy face of Earl Pierce by the flickering light of the flames.
"Your Excellency, the slow pace of the march is mainly a drag on the Fifth Army. If it weren't for the constraints of heavy supplies, we would have traveled 50 miles a day. ”
The one who opened his mouth to brag was the commander of the Second Army, Viscount Oran.
If there were no serf soldiers, Hudson would not have been surprised to travel hundreds of miles a day. But with these guys dragging it down, traveling fifty miles a day is simply a joke.
It's not that he hasn't tried, on the way here, he once challenged to travel sixty miles a day, but he didn't mention it.
It can only prove that the old ancestor said in the military book is reasonable - "The one who is interested in a hundred miles is a general, and the one who is interested in profit is half a general, and the one who is interested in profit is half an army in fifty miles." ”
If you really force the troops to travel 50 miles a day, and when you encounter rebels, then cry. Exhausted soldiers will tell them with practical actions what is the ultimate.
"Your Excellency, it's not that our Fifth Army doesn't work hard, it's just that the road is too tortuous, and there is a lack of enough cattle to pull carts, so we can only rely on manpower, and we can't get up fast if we want to!
Not to mention, today is the first day of operation, and our departure time is still three hours late. To be able to travel 20 miles a day, everyone has worked very hard.
If you still have spare strength, I suggest that the baggage should be distributed to all regiments to share the pressure of logistics and transportation, and I think the speed will be much faster. ”
The Chelse knight explained stiffly.
Anyway, the pot that delayed the pace of the march, the Fifth Army could not carry it.
The first four armies were all lightly armed, and the Fifth Army advanced with heavy loads. If you ask everyone to march at the same speed, it is clearly a hooligan.
"Knight Chers, it seems that your military literacy needs to be improved! You can figure out the loss of the baggage, don't you know that the main force must ensure that the physical strength can meet the enemy at any time? ”
Chris, the commander of the Third Army, scoffed.
It is one thing to shirk responsibility and shirk the blame, but it is another thing to take over the drudgery of logistics and transportation.
His own family knows about his own family affairs, and he can cause chaos just by marching normally. If the pressure of the burden is increased, the scene is unimaginable.
